  • Patent number: 10291741
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a number of notifications of activity relevant to a user. Each notification has an associated type. The method also includes calculating an estimated click-through rate (CTR) for each notification based at least in part on the type associated with each notification; determining a push threshold value for each notification based at least in part on the estimated CTR for each notification; and sending one or more of the notifications to the user. Each of the sent notifications has a push threshold value higher than a pre-determined push threshold value.
